The oceans bottom that is!

The Avatar and Titanic director tweeted around 3:10PM PST that he “just arrived at the ocean’s deepest pt. Hitting bottom never felt so good. Can’t wait to share what I’m seeing w/ you.” At the same time @DeepChallenge, the Twitter page for Cameron’s National Geographic sponsored sub, tweeted “@JimCameron is the first person in history to solo dive to the deepest place on Earth, a record 35,756ft/10,898m” — not quite 7 miles down.



Cameron began the dive in early Sunday morning just southwest of Guam in a specially constructed 12-ton submarine to go down to the bottom of the massive Mariana Trench.
Cameron is scheduled to spend about 6 hours down the bottom of the trench. It’ll take the Deepsea Challenger submarine, which is outfitted with four deep-ocean HD cameras, about 75 minutes to return to the surface.

7 miles!!! No way I could do that - I’d be all and then and and when they brought me back up

I think we should start giving out awards for best use of smilies!

I think I'd go a little stir crazy sitting, well I guess standing alone for an entire day in a little tube surrounded by an environment that wants to kill me.
